[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You understand that tuition rates have grown astronomically faster than wages since you were in college, right?[/quote]

Of course I understand. [b]We can easily afford to pay tuition. However, even if we couldn’t, I would encourage my children to apply and attend the best college possible.[/b]

I know many kids going to UVA and W&M could have gone to “better” schools. I’m sure this is more from public high schools, not private. [b]If you are already paying 50k for high school tuition, paying 80k for college tuition probably would not be a factor in deciding where to go to college.[/b][/quote]

1.  If you couldn't afford to pay, then why would you encourage your children to apply and attend the "best college possible"?

2.  Your statement about a person paying $50K being able to pay $80K (and rising)(It's actually $90K now, generally) makes assumptions and is erroneous.

3.  Yes, people pick publics and privates with merit aid over "better" brand-name schools because of money.[/quote]

Dh and I want to HYP grad schools. I earned high six figures and Dh now earns seven figures. I don’t think it would have been possible without our education.[/quote]

You can't be serious? Do you know how many people make that much who went to unknown schools, or are entrepreneurs, or dropped out? [/quote]

This…DH and I went to sec schools and both earn 7 figures each. Suckers!!![/quote]
